Product catalog summary
Design and Installation Standards for Safety Glass TEMPLEX
1. General Standards
This section outlines the general guidelines for the design and installation of TEMPLEX safety glass, emphasizing the importance of considering environmental factors such as wind pressure, building movement, and construction levels.
2. Basic Design Characteristics
Key design characteristics include ensuring independence of the glass installation from the building structure and between individual glass panels to prevent cascading failures in case of breakage.
3. Distance Between Glass Panels
To accommodate building movements and glass expansion, a separation of 3-4 mm between glass panels and between glass and frame edges is recommended. These gaps can be sealed with silicone if necessary.
4. Glass Doors
Specifications for glass doors include:
  • 4.1 Clearance for Swing Doors: Details on hinge types and recommended dimensions for swing doors.
  • 4.2 Recommended Dimensions for Swing Doors: Thickness and size specifications for swing doors.
  • 4.3 Recommended Dimensions for Sliding Doors: Thickness and size specifications for sliding doors.
5. Wind Bracing
Wind bracing is recommended to enhance the rigidity and resistance of installations, especially when certain dimensional thresholds are exceeded. Types of wind bracing include high, passing, non-passing, and hanging braces.
6. Embedded Glass with Channels or Grooves
Embedded glass requires pre-installed channels or grooves in the construction frame. Recommendations include avoiding direct contact between glass and metal or cement by using spacers.
7. Typical Window Designs
Includes designs for fixed windows with grooves, profiles, and accessories, accommodating both sliding and hinged configurations.
8. Typical Partition Designs
Details on fixed partitions with grooves, profiles, and accessories, suitable for sliding and hinged doors, with considerations for different transom heights.
